Caring For Kids From Hard Places
$15.99Add to cartWhy doesn’t he act his age? Why does she behave so impulsively? Why does he have meltdowns so often?
There is always meaning behind behavior in all of us. It might be a behavioral reaction from something as simple as hunger or exhaustion. Or something far more serious – a triggered reaction to a traumatic, frightening experience.
Children who have experienced early childhood neglect or trauma are often greatly impacted in developmental ways. Children in foster care or who are given up for adoption often deal with these kinds of negative early experiences and it can be difficult to know how to help. People who teach-either in school or children’s ministry often see these youngsters’ behavior as confusing and don’t understand why.
In Caring for Kids from Hard Places, Jayne and David Schooler discuss the reasons behind why children and teens sometimes exhibit potentially disruptive behavior. Together, they offer practical strategies on training, equipping and resourcing staff and volunteers to provide a responsive environment for children with behavioral challenges. Caring for Kids from Hard Places includes:
*Insights on how to understand adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)
*Principles for creating a trauma-informed environment
*Strategies for facilitating healing
*Tips on how to create a sensory-smart classroomDiscover how to better love children from difficult backgrounds and pave their way for a better life.

Knowing El Kanna Our Jealous God
$16.99Add to cartIn Knowing El Kanna: Our Jealous God, renowned author Charles Simpson explores the lesser-known name of God, El Kanna, translated as The Jealous God.
While the notion of jealousy is often associated with sin, Simpson reveals how God’s jealousy over His people can be a righteous and transformative force. Drawing from biblical teachings, Simpson unravels the connection between idol worship and the jealousy of God. He highlights how idolatry, which extends beyond physical objects to encompass desires that supersede our devotion to God, grieves His heart. As the New Testament expands the definition of idolatry to include covetousness, Simpson empowers readers to identify and overcome the idols that hinder their relationship with the Almighty.
Knowing El Kanna not only exposes the idols in our lives but also provides practical guidance on how to free ourselves from their grip once and for all. With a deeply personal touch, Simpson parallels his own journey of overcoming idols with the nation of Israel’s historical struggles, taking readers on a transformative exploration from Genesis through Revelation.
Rooted in the timeless truths of God’s Word, this book offers hope and encouragement to those seeking to align their lives with His heart. By viewing their lives through the lens of Scripture, readers will discover the freedom and fulfillment that come from a life liberated from idols.
If you are yearning to become a person after God’s own heart and are willing to embark on a life-changing journey, Knowing El Kanna: Our Jealous God is an invaluable resource. Prepare to be inspired, challenged, and equipped to walk an idol-free path, experiencing the fullness of a restored relationship with the One who loves you unconditionally.

Disobedient God : Trusting A God Who Goes Off-Script
$17.99Add to cartIn this powerful guidebook, the lead pastor of Fellowship Church demonstrates how the moments that test our faith are the moments God uses to direct our hearts to the one thing we truly desire most: a relationship with Christ.
When the people of Israel, those who had witnessed the most abundant and inexplicable acts of God, grew tired of waiting for Moses to come off the mountain, they made a calf of gold. It was easier for them to make a new god than to continue serving a God that didn’t conform to their schedule and expectations.
Just like the Israelites in the desert, we are all fundamentally longing for God… but who and what are we actually reaching for and serving? Disobedient God addresses the things we do when we feel ignored, inconvenienced and frustrated by God. What things are we reaching for in our life? Are we reaching for porn when we long for intimacy? Reaching for success when we long for security? We would never say that we have replaced God, but our actions tell a different story. Whether we are trying to replace God, trying to run away or trying to perform for Him, we have no mindset to deal with a disobedient God. Disobedient God is a book for people dealing with this disappointment and interested in properly understanding and loving the God they’ve misunderstood.
This is not a step-by-step instruction manual for how to react when things are difficult; rather, it is a way of understanding God that leads people to discover the relationship with God that they were always meant for.

Seen Secure Free
$19.99Add to cartIn a world that screams Be seen! Be known! and often measures value by likes and shares and follows, it’s easy to feel invisible, unheard, unloved. But God’s Word offers a powerful and freeing counternarrative: true treasure is actually found in the “hidden” life of Christ.
Somewhere along the way, we’ve confused our level of visibility with our value. We’ve mixed up fame with fruitfulness. We’ve equated exposure with excellence.
But what if we stopped trying so hard to be seen, recognized, and affirmed by the world around us? What if there’s a different way of living altogether?
Seen, Secure, Free unpacks the great promise in Colossians 3:3: “Your life is hidden with Christ in God” and reminds us that when God hides us in himself, he provides a non-negotiable, never-ending source of contentment, identity, and worth.
Join Bible teacher Allison Allen as she explores the incredible power of hiddenness in nature, history, and Scripture, which will help you:
*Let go of the pressure to be recognized and praised by others;
*Release the resentment that comes from feeling unseen or misunderstood;
*Find contentment in a loving God who knows you deeply;

As Long As You Need
$19.99Add to cartVeteran hospital chaplain to the sick, dying, and bereaved, J.S. Park offers you both the permission and the process for how to grieve and heal at your own pace.
In As Long As You Need, J.S. offers an honest and unrushed engagement with grief, decoding four types of grieving–spiritual, mental, physical, and relational–and offering compassionate self-care and soul-care along the way.
If you are struggling to process loss, pain, or grief from the last few years or the last few minutes, J.S. is an experienced and deeply empathetic listener and grief catcher who has held the pain and questions of thousands of patients. While social and cultural narratives about grief are dominated by “letting go, moving on, or turning the page” in his nearly decade of service as a chaplain at a major hospital with a designated level one trauma center J.S. understands firsthand how rushing or suppressing grief only adds a suffocating layer of pain on top of the original wound.
From his unique window into the stories of the ill, injured, dying, and their families, J.S. offers you:
*Permission to dismantle all too common myths about grief and replace them with a guilt-free and unrushed approach to navigating your losses.
*Encouragement for how entering grief, rather than avoiding it, leads to a hard but meaningful holding of your loss.
*Empathy and hope if you are struggling with a crisis of faith in the midst of grief.
*Recognition that grief spans a wide narrative of loss: loss of future, faith, mental health, worth, autonomy, connection, and loved ones.
*Affirmation that your grief is your own. While the DNA of grief might be universal to the human condition, how you experience and process grief is unique to you.
From the ER to deliveries to deathbeds across every sort of illness and injury imaginable, J.S. Park has provided meaningful counseling for people in all walks of life and death. Now, through his book he wants to assure you that, while everybody else might rush past your pain, grief is the voice that says, take as long as you need.

Ghosted : An American Story
$29.99Add to cartA riveting look inside a life of poverty, success, and the inner circles of political influence–from the foothills of Appalachia all the way to the White House.
New York Times bestselling ghostwriter Nancy French is coming out of the shadows to tell her own incredible story.
Nancy’s family hails from the foothills of the Appalachians, where life was dominated by coal mining, violence, abuse, and poverty. Longing for an adventure, she married a stranger, moved to New York, and dropped out of college. In spite of her lack of education, she found success as a ghostwriter for conservative political leaders. However, when she was unwilling to endorse an unsuitable president, her allies turned on her and she found herself spiritually adrift, politically confused, and occupationally unemployable.
Republicans mocked her, white nationalists targeted her, and her church community alienated her. But in spite of death threats, sexual humiliation, and political ostracization, she learned the importance of finding her own voice–and that the people she thought were her enemies could be her closest friends.
A poignant and engrossing memoir filled with humor and personal insights, Ghosted is a deeply American story of change, loss, and ultimately love.

Jeremiah And Lamentations
$14.99Add to cartThe prophet Jeremiah ministered during the waning decades of Judah. The people had rebelled against the Lord through their constant idolatry and injustice of all kinds–and they were about to experience God’s wrath in the form of a conquering army. Yet even as Jeremiah described the short-term consequences of the people’s rebellion against the Lord, he also spoke of God’s long-term plan to provide salvation.
In the twelve studies within, join John MacArthur on an exploration of this “weeping prophet”–so called because of the grief he expressed for his people–and the prophecies he faithfully related to them for more than fifty years. By working through this study, you will learn that in your life–just like in the lives of the people of Judah–God may discipline you for a season, but He will always extend His grace to you.
The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. Each guide incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Word of God with guidance from John MacArthur.

Peace Over Perfection
$16.99Add to cartMany Christians, often without even realizing it, struggle with a type of Christian perfectionism. We strive to please God but are plagued with anxiety about making mistakes. We want to do God’s will but live with a self-berating inner voice even as we seek to serve him. We sincerely believe the gospel and love Jesus but struggle with never feeling good enough before God.
How can Christians wholeheartedly pursue God without an undercurrent of guilt, fear, or anxiety? How can imperfect people experience God’s peace while seeking to obey his perfect standards?
Author Faith Chang addresses the struggles of her fellow “Christian perfectionists” through
meditations on God’s character. With nuance and care, she writes for those who seek to grow in Christ and live for God’s glory yet live in fear of failure. She explores the Bible to show that as God deals with us as in-process people, he is far more merciful, righteous, and patient than we may have imagined. As we consider how he interacts bountifully with us, the weary and scrupulous Christian perfectionist will be freed to pursue God while experiencing his love and peace.There are prayers between each chapter for specific situations Christian perfectionists face, such as “A Prayer for When You Feel You’re a Fake.” Reflection questions are included for those reading the book in small groups or one on one.
